Jon Richardson

Like the best self-deprecating comedians, Jon Richardson finds clever and personable ways to find humor in some of the more negative aspects of his life. Often joking about his frequent bouts of obsessive-compulsive disorder and the high, nasally tone of his voice, the London-based Richardson has resonated well with large numbers of stand-up fans throughout the UK. He's presented material on several programs for both BBC Television and BBC Radio, and has received a number of accolades for his stand-up shows, including the award for "Best Breakthrough Act" at the Chortle Awards in 2008.
